Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

This sensor incorporated a magnet in order to convert the silk motion into an electronic signal. As an alternative to using a magnet, Miles set out to create a capacitive sensor.

The capacitive sensors market is poised for significant expansion as industries continue to embrace smart, touch-enabled, and proximity-sensing solutions. With advancements in sensor ...

Capacitive proximity sensor block diagram Capacitive proximity sensors use two metal electrodes or plates to generate a high-frequency electrostatic field.

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

The motion-control market continues to grow and so does the need for sensor controls that help guide it.

3M Touch Systems announces the commercial availability of a new polyester-based projected capacitive touch screen solution. MicroTouch Flex Capacitive Touch Sensors from 3M are ideal for high-volume ...

Rather than relying on motion activated Infrared sensors which have a tendency to cut out mid-rinse, these taps utilize a capacitive omni-directional sensing zone around the spout which the ...

Using ADI's advanced capacitance sensor core, the AD7142 CDC has the capability to automatically adjust to rapidly changing climatic conditions, making it especially suitable for mobile applications.

Capacitive-touch sensors can detect a finger touch by measuring capacitive changes on the touch pad. Currently, the most popular form of capacitive-touch sensors relies on a microprocessor and ...
